CBO estimated Public Law 119-21 would increase the unified budget deficit by $3.4 trillion over 2025-2034, reflecting a $1.1 trillion decrease in direct spending and a $4.5 trillion decrease in revenues.

The enacted law Schmidt backed did cut direct spending, but CBO found it increased deficits substantially overall, so it does not fully satisfy a promise to curb runaway federal spending.

CBO identified this estimate as covering H.R. 1 as passed by the House on May 22, 2025, and noted it had not yet completed an analysis of macroeconomic effects or additional budgetary effects.

At the time Schmidt voted for initial House passage, official budget analysis was incomplete on macroeconomic and inflation-related effects, limiting proof that the vote curbed inflation-fueling policy.
